Bug Description
I have a TouchSmart tm2 2000el with an i3 and a HD5450. I had to install Ubuntu on a USB pen drive (16GB). I chose the 64 bit version. I installed the proprietary driver of the ATI HD5450 and it said me to restart the system. After the restart, even when I try the rescue mode I cannot load properly Ubuntu because the screen is black, not even illuminated, totally powered off. When I press ctrl+alt+del I see the normal Ubuntu loading splash screen and then the system restart.
The Ubuntu version is the 10.04 x86_64 without any update done.

I solved loading a live pen with Ubuntu and commenting the Driver line in the xorg.conf file and then I installed the last version of the drivers from the AMD/ATI site. And leaving disabled the driver in the "Hardware Drivers"
